Shadowdale: Forgotten Realms: The Avatar, Book 1

When the gods are banished from the heavens, they must travel through Faern in the guise of mortals. When four companions, last survivors of the Company of the Lynx, find themselves in possession of a mysterious amulet, they must escape death at the hand of Bane, god of murder. When magic itself runs wild, no one can say that the most innocent of spells will not destroy the world.

The Last Wish

Geralt is a witcher, a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. He roams the country seeking assignments, but gradually comes to realise that while some of his quarry are unremittingly vile, vicious grotesques, others are the victims of sin, evil or simple naivety.

Publisher's Summary

The streets of Waterdeep...

Where danger lurks round every corner as the avatars of the gods seek the Tablets of Fate.

Where Cyric and Myrkul, god of death, plot to capture Midnight and twist the Tablets to their own dark ends, imperiling the very existence of Faern.Where the destiny of the world will be decided and a new pantheon of gods will rise into the heaven.

Ppffew!It was a long journey, but we are finally here, &quot;Waterdeep.&quot;Both &quot;Shadowdale&quot; and &quot;Tantras&quot; were overall terrible books,but with the switch-out of writers to Troy Denning, we finallyacquire the Times of Troubles-story we were hoping for!

Our narrator is still bad, but if one has gotten this far, one haspresumably gotten used to her and simply tries to get somethingout of what she is reading, and with &quot;Waterdeep&quot; she has finallysomething to read!

&quot;Waterdeep&quot; is a truly excellent tale with the stakes runninghigh and several factions fighting for the powers of the gods,for different reasons, at all times.The book does contain plenty of weaknesses, but they aretypically minor, and the book even attempts to deal with someof the failings of the two first books.

&quot;Waterdeep&quot; is by no means a perfect book, but with what wehad to sit through to get here, I'd say that there is time for avictory lap with simply being given a product of significant,consistent quality.

"better than the first two"

I'm guessing they needed to scale the scope down a bit. still remember the campaign where characters lived in this world.
